AN editorial in the Nashville Advocate

great body OF Methodist preachers is
composed almost solidly of eyangelists

good, and if the saying of DIR. Price, of
Holston, who seems TO have studied the
subject, is true, the evangelists in the
worst sense are not Methodists. We
ought TO be thankful for that DIR. Price
fears that che greed for gain--'the ac-
cursed thirst for gold'-lie at the bottom
of much of the evangolistic activity seen
i'll these days The New York Christian
Advocate has no nisgiYings on the sub
jcct, but boldly asserts "there are five
hundred hypocrites, imposters and
cranks OF Que sex or the other getting
their living as temperance lecturers,
evangelists, etc, i'll the United States
and Canada" That is bad showing,
but only proves what has been often
said "Ihc people love to be hum

experience at too dear q price. God

History of the NIonumcn;.
Various plans were set on foot for the
erection OF Il monument that should be
worthy OF Calhoun. In Charleston an
association of the military and fire de-
partment3 was organized and progressed
SO successfully that in 1893 q cha cter was
obtained, SO as TO put the association on
u pcrmauCnt basis. The funds collected
were from time to time turned over to
Tic Ladies Association. Other orCani-
zat!onS were formed for the SAME pur-
pose, and made some progress in the
work. But 1t WAS reserved or the

with hand and heart for her honor, to

duty, never iorsaking their noble pur.
pose through the palmy days OF peace,
the tcrrors of war and the gIeat,f evils
Of the years that followed.
On the 23d of January, 1854, eleven
ladies met at the residence OF one of
their number in Charleston for the pur-

The first step accomplished, the mem
bcrs Of the Association did not relax
their efforts, but encouraged by their
success pressed vigorously on
Plans aud estimates were discussed,
and when the war broke ont the work of
building the monument was on the eve
OF accomplishment. Then came the
four years struggle with its trials and
harCiships, its alterations of hope and
despair, and at last the end, when ali
seemed lost forever. 1T is to the courage
and self-sacrifce OF Mrs. Snowdep, the
treasurer during this period, that the
Association owes It's continued existence
Losing her own property, she preserved
that OF the Association. When Sherman
burned Columbia she passed through
those fearful days and nights with the
securities of the Association stitched in
the folds Of her dress, and, taking no
thought of her own losses, held inviolate
her sacred trust

justify the hope that the purpose OF the

The Man Who STAYED pend.

Just beyond Crosby hall, passing under
an arch, we found Great st. Helen's,
n of the oldest churches in London,
and were well repaid for our trouble. 1t
is simply q square divided into two aisles
by massive pillars; its floor an ancient
pavement of stones, a part of which are
gravestones. Having been in very early
times connected with a the
stairs leading to the dormitorses lead
directly into the church, and at one side
stone gratings are shown where the nuns
came to listen to the service. There are
many curious ancient tombs here, one
being a very large square edifice, stand
ing out into and about filling one aisle at
that point. Being very peculiar, we
questioned its meaning, and were told
that it was built by a Mr.. Francis Ban
croft for himself; that his coffin was to
be put there with the lid SO that he could
lift it, as he had a great horror of com
ing to life after burial. He also had q
key to the tomb and one to the church
left there, and a vessel of water, and he
left money to certain men to visit the
tomb once year. But as our guide said:
HE is only a dry skeleton now, and has
not been visited for fifty years" Lon

Why scouts Wear Long Hair.

1 know that n great many good men
have q decided prejudice against long
haired men, such as Cody, Carver and
myself, but few know that there is a
method in this seeming madness of the
western scout. Among the Sioux In
dams, Custer was respected and feared as
was no other man, and he wore his
blonde curls far down his back. The
Sioux Indian has the hair from the side
of his head cut off short, but that on the
scalp he allows to grow long, and hang
down in three braids. 1t is his defiance
to his enemy. 1t says here is my scalp,
with a convenient handle to it, come and
take it if you car. A short haired man
is looked upon as a coward. The Indian
is readily impressed with display, and l
ave no doubt that my long hair and my
fringed buckskin and bead trimmed
scouts uniform has often saved my life.

scout, in Globe-D Democrat.

AN INVITATION.

See then-the clouds are broken. Even now
The woodland ways are greening, and new hope,
Perched on each lifting blade, fills all the air
With voiceless murmurs, speaking TO the soul
Come, o sad hearts-a little turn away,
A little from LIES killing care be tempted.
1t is not far to heaven when spring is near;
Elysium, now, is just outside the city,
And paradise awaits you in the fields.
Come while you may, for life IS not forever.
A little only, and then comes the end.
And will ye toll on, making mock Of life,
Sitting the hungering spirits cry within you,
Scorning to rest-untl unhindered death
Makes bold to lay you even with the clayr
Then shall the sod bloom, and ye will not know;
The branch shall blossom, but ye will not see;
The soft winds woo-but ye shall rise no morei
Come then; o turn today!-a little turn
From toll and care, while yet the heart hath feel
ing;
Turn to the woodlands and the springing fields.
The spicewood buds; the robin hath returned.
Believe me, o believe me! nothing stays
OF all we gather at the spirits cost.
Gold for the sake OF ~gold-Rlas! the days
Spent in such seeking are so much life lost.

IT is not one of the characteristics of
THE LEADER to toot its own horn. Our
esteemed contemporaries have gone into
the fair business with a great flourish of
trumpets and make quite creditable dis
plays, but they overlook one very import
n consideration. 1t Is this: When they
increase their space for advertising they
should make a corresponding increase in
the space devoted more particularly to
news. As the matter now stands THE
LEADER is the only paper in town which
can afford or even pretends to give
proper prominence to legitimate items of
news. Monday nights telegraph brought
with it the account Of frightful calamity
which befel an English theater. There
were over 100 lives lost, yet strange to
say this paper was the only one in town
to give publicity to the fact. This is
scarcely creditablo to the other newspapers
of the city if they have aspirations be-
yond simple advertising sheets.

ONE Of onr contemporaries, says the
New York Sun, in abiding to the wordy
row between Governors Foraker and Will
son last week, said that the governor of
West Virginia used to be known as
Windy Wilson. He was, indeed, and
well did he earn that unique and express
i've adjective. Governor Wilson in 1871
was a member of the West Virginia legis
lature. A bill was introduced at that
time known as the James River and
Kanawha canal bill. Wilson was ''agin
the BILL while the majority was for it.
Thirty-six hours before the legislature ad-
iourned sine die Wilson was recog-
nized by the speaker, and for thirty
six hours he played upon all the keys of
the larnyx. Not a moment did he stop.
Men slept, and sill Wilson talked, Men
raved, and Wilson still ground away at
his organ, and when the hour for final
adjournment came Wilson's voice still
echoed in the chamber. His wind stood
him in good stead, for he beat the bill,
with its bellows like capacity. That is
why he is known as Windy Wilson.
Foraker must have had the temerity of
ignorance.

THE verdict OF the Jury in the Mccoy
case is received on all sides with undis-
guised satisfaction. There is a great deal
more involved in the finding than APP
pears on the surface. Murder has fol-
lowed murder with startling frequency.
The jail is overcrowded by malefactors of
all sorts, supported in Idleness at public
expense. Costs have been piled up to
appalling proportions. In the light of
these facts it was natural that there
should exist a fear that Justice might fail
and "a red handed murderer escape the
extreme limit of the punishment he so
richly deserved. Fortunately the jury
was an intelligent one. They saw their
duty plainly, and they did not hesitate to
do it like men.
The verdict will undoubtedly exercise
an influence over some of the self-con-
iessed bad men who continually thirst for
gore, but the lesson will be even more
practically emphasized when the processes
of law are carried out to their bitterest
extremity,

THE Laramie Boomerang in noting the
spread of the base ball mania, mentions
the fact that a game of base ball was
played at Rock Springs yesterday be-
tween Carbon and the home nine. Ex-
element ran high, at least a dozen peo-
pie witnessing the game, Score: Rock
Springs, So; Carbon, 81. Game stopped
in the fourth inning by darkness. 1t is
believed that if the game had been fin.
ished the score would have run into the
thousands. In one case the umpire took
three. quarters of an hour to look up the
rules to see whether a man was caught
out on a fly or not, it being the only fly
caught during the game.
